The only time the girls have had a dominate post in recent years they didn't have a ton of success in fact they really turned it around once she left.
My definition of contender is being competitive in every game with a chance to win. IMO, she had a lot to do with where we are today. She made it "fashionable" for a Wisconsin Laker to become a Leatherneck.
Embrace the pace of the race.

The crowd was 1,596 for last year's Senior Day game vs South Dakota. That game was also a 4:30 PM Saturday game.

Down 40-20 at the half. Shots just not falling for us.

You can't. Runway isn't long enough. Usually teams fly into Peoria and bus over.

I saw a tweet picture. They flew in on a prop plane. I also heard the guys flew back from Tulsa and landed in Macomb. I think.
